the China closet, he Kennedy administration _
different look each time another dish hit the floor.
With France it was surprise; with Russia, chagrin;
with Canada, embarrassment; with Cuba, frustration.
Unpleasant happenings with all four came within a
few weeks after President Kennedy thought he was
looking at a much calmer world. " \
The full impact of the trouble with France did
not hit Kennedy until after his Jan. 14 talk to Con-
gress about the calmness. Actually, it began just a
few hours before in Paris.
There President de Gaulle chose that very day
to tell a news conference he would not let Britain
into the Common Market and wanted no part of
Kennedy’s plan for a NATO multinational nuclear
force. . *
He wants his own weapons. His timing was brutal.
It caught Kennedy by surprise. Ever since the United
States, Britain, and other NATO and Common Mar-
ket members have been milling around, not knowing
wfiat to do next.
Premier Khrushchev took advantage of this dis-
array to cross up Kennedy again. He had looked
chastened and even reasonable, like a man who might
-be ready to-dObusioess ^t-lagt,eYeE.4^^
made him take his missiles out 6f Cuba.
At the nuclear test ban talks tljg, Russians made
a concession they had made once befo
efore but with-
drawn: They would permit two or three onsite in-
spections in Russia to prevent cheating if there was
a no-test agreement X. j
The United States wanted eight or 10 but this
looked like progress. In an obvious attempt to en-.
courage* Khrushchev, Kennedy suspended American
underground tests.
After the trouble with De Gaulle got severe,
Khrushchev called off the talks. No doubt he felt he
could make a better deal if the Western squabble
got worse. .
Then, as if things were not bad enough, the
State Department goofed.
Although Secretary of State Dean Rusk later said
Kennedy knew nothing about it beforehand the de-
partment got so burned up at this country’s Canadian
ally it later apologized for the scorching.
Under an American-Canadian agreement this
country was supposed to supply its neighbor with
missiles and bombers. The missiles needed nuclear
warheads. Under an act of Congress this country
cannot give away or sell nuclear weapons.
This required American control of nuclear-tipped
missiles in Canada although Canada could have
joint say on when they would be used.
Prime Minister Diefenbaker had different ideast
* That Canada did not really need the missiles, and
that if Canada had them she should control them.
So everything stalled. The Canadians got into a has-
sle about it.
Last week the State Department sent Canada a
Stiff note, complaining about the delay and disputing
Diefenbaker’s arguments. His government stood pat.
He complained this country was butting into Cana-
dian affairs.
Rusk then apologized to “all Canadians” if the
tone of the American note offended them. If the
State Department had not handled this whole busi-
ness too hastily,, there would have been no need or
reason to apologize.
Once more Cuba got on American nerves, this
time because of the number of Soviet troops and
weapons there. The Kennedy administration had
been rather comfortable about Cuba ever since
Khrushchev carted his missiles away last fall.
Now members of Congress were complaining
about the size of Soviet forces in Cuba. Sen. Strom
Thurmond, D-S.C., said there were 30,000-40,000 So-
viet troops there, plus missiles and other weapons.
The Pentagon minimized the number although
the Kennedy administration last fall seemdd slow
in catching up on the Russian missile buildup in
Cuba. Now Rusk admitted the administration has
“great concern.”

A submarine-launched ballistic
missile, Laird pointi out, poses a
greater threat to U.S. defenses
than a Soviet-based ICBM.
Without knowing the precise lo-

mathematical computation of the

Laird, it cannot be solved within

problems in anti-submarine
warfare (ASW) are vast. Vice Ad-

of thne areas:
1. Detection: “You may produce
the best weapon in the world for
ASW, but unless we can find the
enemy submarine it is useless.
Finding a nuclear sub — which
the Soviets are mow working on—
is much tougher than a conven-
tional sub." \

read it myself, I am confident
that their opinion was worth-
while. The concensus was that
this book is probably not too wise
a choice for a high school library
but there are probably many
books of a worse moral character
in the library. The concensus was
that this book is probably not up
,to the standards Kantor has set
in his past works, but it is cer-
tainly not bad enough to raise th#
furor that was created In Bay-
town. A practice which is infor-
mally done in Texas City and
which I think is very wise is to
encourage all complaints of this
nature to be Voiced to the librar-
ian and if they are raised with
the school board or superinten-
dent. to refer than to the librari-
an.
After appropriate consideration,
the librarian can then decide if
the citicisms have merit and it
so. toe book could be placed on a
reserve shelf where it is not avail-
able to students unless written
permission from the parents is ob-
tained.
The worst thing that can hap-
pen is for a controversy to be
created and tor the school board
to take action when, in fact, they
are not qualified to act in such
a situation. For the school board
to act and remove a book Jrom
the library not only creates a
lack of academic freedom, but is
also an invitation for everyone
to start looking for books in the
library which they feel are not
proper. It also creates a tremen-
dous demand for the book itself

IflE BLOWUP IN Canadian-
American relations is the culmina-
tion of a series of irritating inci-
dents, each causing the two tra-
ditional neighbors to drift further
apart. Here are the highlights:
1. Canada, instead of breaking
with Fidel Castro and joining in
the Pan American boycott, con-
tinued to ship vitally important
spare parts to operate American-
built trucks. Without them, the
Cuban transportation system
would have broken down.
2. Canada sold surplus wheat
to Red China last summer at a
time when the United States was
trying to isolate China.
3. During the Cuban crisis last
October, the Diefenbaker govern-
ment waited 53 hours before or-
dering the Canadian Air Force to
man the defense alert. Russian
bombers could have slipped over
the border while Canada was try-
ing to make up its mind what to
do.

Since the fiery beverage is dis-

than a little startling to tequila

Opening lead—king of dubs.
. You have to train yourself
hot to make mechanical plays
in bridge if you expect to get
the best results.
Here is a hand that illustrates
the point. It was played in a
par bridge contest that is staged
annually among representatives
of the Department of State in
various legations, embassies and
other foreign offices all over the
glob*. Usually, dose to 2,000
persons compete to tiMSS eon-
North-South were supposed to
bid and make six diamonds to
earn full par. The bidding’
shown is merely one sequence 1
that might M used to arrive at
the sound contract of six dia-
monds. Failure to reach a Man
WM punished with an under-par
bidding score.
Hie directed opening load
waa the king of clubs. Most of
the contestants who became de-
clarer at six diamonds met their
Waterloo on the first trick.
They played the ace of dubs,
which East raffed, and even-
tually lost a heart trick to go
down onh.
With proper play, they would
have made the slam. All they
had to do to assure twelve
tricks was play a low club
from dummy on the opening
lead. This somewhat unusual
play was dearly called for by
the circumstances.
'■ South can see twelve trick*
as soon as dummy comes down.
They consist of three Ugh
spades and a spade ruff, th#
ace of hearts, the ace of clubs,
and six trump tricks. The only
thing that South has to guard
against is the loss of one of
those winners. 1
